I know favoritism is a bad thing; but I have to say that this might be my favorite design for this year. Okay, okay. I have quite a few favorite designs this year—some already published, some close to publication, and some that are scheduled far into the mysterious mists of 2021. But this just might …
As you can tell from the title of this post, Nuit d’etoiles is here! It almost didn’t arrive on time, however; if you want the peaceful country ramble, read on.
